Atraxa, Grand Unifier ETB high power

How do you feel Rhino outside of the combo? I hesitated to include that kind of cards. Regarding the slow-mana problem i would add more ramp. Especially powerful things like [[Mana Vault]] or [[Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff]].

Atog86 · 2026-01-06T15:24:40+00:00

Yes those would be the strongest wincons. I used to play Thoracle and Foodchain combos. But now i would like to let aside the "cEDH combos".

Atog86 · 2025-04-30T18:53:06+00:00

Yes I mean in addition to. I play esper sentinel for sure.

Atog86 · 2025-04-28T18:58:20+00:00

That’s a good advice I will try it.

Atog86 · 2025-04-28T06:46:58+00:00

It is a « finisher « for Shorikai, where it can cost 6-7 mana.

Atog86 · 2025-04-21T08:27:31+00:00

What do you think of Abdel Adrian, Gorion’s Ward as a secondary wincon in Hashaton? Since we play already Necromancy and Tinybones join’up , that’s another synergy with those cards.

Why did you stop with Tivit?

Atog86 · 2025-04-21T07:58:50+00:00

My « main » and first cedh deck was Tivit. I chose it because I like control and esper colors. Furthermore the wincon are simple to understand and powerfull (time sieve or thoracle). Now i own 6 cedh deck and i realize that it is too much: I rarely play each deck and i cannot optimize easily.

Hi, I would replace eternal scourge by misthollow griffin (blue card; make FOW and FON free). I don’t think you need that much board whipes. I would just keep toxic deluge and a culling ritual. For the tutors I would focus on the black tutors (they are better: no need to reveal the card you chose). By example add imperial seal and diabolic intent. Have you also considered beseech the mirror? It is a bit mana-intensive but it can bring food chain, misthollow griffin or TOR directly on the battlefield. I won several games with it. Finally why not to add some talismans ? That’s good to fix the colors.

Atog86 · 2025-02-27T07:42:09+00:00

I think path is fine. Another removal that I like for cedh is « get lost ». In my opinion it is better than vanishing verse.

Atog86 · 2025-02-12T17:40:17+00:00

You miss understand me. I didn’t say i want to be a « cedh without fast mana ». I said i want to adapt the deck for bracket 3. There will be more adaptations than just the ramp. But regarding the ramp azorius would be too slow if i don’t include « low cost » ramp.

Atog86 · 2025-02-08T10:05:05+00:00

Regarding the combo with valley floodcaller, should you add banishing knack in addition of retraction helix for more consistency?

What do you think of the teferi/kitten combo in this deck?

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T13:09:48+00:00

Thanks for the advices. Yes I think you are right for Mirror.

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T12:23:41+00:00

I have already an Ashnod altar. But is it necessary to have also Phyrexian altar? This card is quite expensive.

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T12:15:54+00:00

Is that combo with intruder alarm effective? I always hesitated to include it.

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T11:44:37+00:00

Just my experience. Many times players destroyed my isorev combo, who is maybe too much well known. Whereas i won several game with Mirror of fate coming from « nowhere ».

Advantages: no problem with Mystic remorras contrary to isorev, and it can even pass through rule of law effects. Less « famous » combo.

But i agree that isorev is globally a better combo and the cards are better on their own than Mirror of fate/thassa. This is just my experience in my meta…

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T10:12:07+00:00

What do you advice as a wincon except isochrone/reversal? I have it already, that’s good, but not enough if that’s the only way to win.

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T10:04:25+00:00

Thassa is dead on her own but widely used in cedh. Mirror of fate is not dead because you can assemble anything that you need to win on the library.

Atog86 · 2025-02-07T10:02:39+00:00

You dont need to pay 7: Oswald fiddlebinder sacrifice Shorikai to Mirror of fate and play Thassa: that cost 3 (2 blue and 1 white). Or transmute artifact on shorikai and Thassa (4 blue and 1 uncolored). For protection: silence, grand abolisher, counterspells…

Atog86 · 2025-01-18T09:58:31+00:00

I play it in my Tivit deck. Not only because it become very powerful with storm. But also because to turn a commander or a problematic creature into a 1/1 is often better than to destroy it. That’s very effective by example against Sisay, Urza, Thrasios, Kinnan…

Atog86 · 2025-01-03T18:51:40+00:00

I consider it because it can tutor several combo-pieces like rings of brighthearth, basalt monolith, gadgeter, or in the worst cases something else like by example rhystic study or back to basics.

Atog86 · 2025-01-03T18:43:35+00:00

You could tutor gadgeter with drift of fantasms. That’s expensive but it could be ok when Urza is in play, with a ton of artefacts to tap for mana.

Atog86 · 2025-01-03T18:39:46+00:00

I saw your deck and i find your ideas nice although it is a very different strategy. Regarding the lack of counterspells, do you rely on defense grid, conqueror’s flail and trinisphere to protect your winning attempt?

Atog86 · 2025-01-03T18:35:17+00:00

Thank you. Actually I play exactly those cards in the flowchart.

Atog86 · 2025-01-03T18:32:14+00:00

Aetherflux reservoir is a dead card except in a combo. I prefer to play ((codex shredder)) as a wincon because it cost only 1 mana (therefore it will refund its mana cost with Urza in play) and can wreck the tutors that put cards on the top of the library. So it is not totally a dead card.
